Spring is here and soon meadows all over the globe will be covered in a blanket of rich colors. Here at Civitatis, we’ve compiled a list of the top flower fields in the world, filled with tulips, poppies, sunflowers, and many other varieties of flowers.

Keukenhof, The Netherlands
Keukenhof, the iconic tulip garden in the Netherlands, must be on the list of the most spectacular flower fields in the world. Strolling among its lakes, windmills, and forests is a unique experience you cannot skip if you travel to the Netherlands. The gardens are located in Lisse, but you can also get there on a day-trip from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or The Hague.
The best time to visit Keukenhof is mid-May, when the tulip fields bloom.

Hitachi, Japan
Ever heard of nemophilas? They’re tiny blue flowers whose appearance marks the transition from Spring to Summer. In Anglo-Saxon countries, they are known as ‘baby blue eyes,’ and in Japan, we can find them in the Hitachi Coastal Park. This space occupies almost 190 hectares (469 acres) and houses several gardens full of these little flowers, along with tulips, crocuses, and daffodils.

Sunflower fields in Tuscany, Italy
Although Tuscany is known for its vineyards, this region in Italy is also home to beautiful flower-covered places such as the sunflower fields of the Orcia and Era valleys. With the arrival of Spring, these meadows become tinted golden, creating a striking contrast with the green Tuscan cypresses.

Canola fields in Luoping, China
In Luoping County, eastern China, a vast sea of yellow emerges between February and March. These are the unique fields of canola or rapeseed, the flower from which rapeseed oil is extracted, which stretch as far as the eye can see and have become a favorite destination for Japanese photographers. These bright flowers attract lots of bees, so the fields are also an important honey-producing area.

Atacama Desert, Chile
A peculiar natural phenomenon occurs in the Atacama Desert in Chile every few years: flowers burst to life in one of the world’s driest areas. This unusual occurrence is called “desert in bloom” and occurs when rainfall is more intense than usual. Among the cracks, about 200 species of native flowers emerge, such as sighs, dondiegos, and lilies.
